@countryque @UvondaMitchell I agree with you. My high school engineering class could get engaged in it. The last day we had school they want to play Kahoot and they picked rap. They could create rap using engineering technology. Thanks.

@Coach_Zanders @UvondaMitchell It seems that Central's Media Specialist agrees with you. She wants to start one at Central, but questions the ability to implement it in High School.

[Jerry Lee Henry @JerryLeeHenry1]

@JunnieMckay @UvondaMitchell Central media specialist suggested implementing DEAR for 15 minutes school wide, high school maybe not and that is where I teach. I believe the program would encourage students to read. I agree with a classroom library it would really help with reading.

#CF20CultureofLiteracy and @UvondaMitchell

My plan is encouraging male students to read. Malcolm Mitchell a former UGA football player from Valdosta, who in college taught himself to read above the middle school level, has written “The Magician’s Hat". Use his story.

@trisha_0920 @UvondaMitchell After reading the responses looks like Star Reading Assessment is a good idea.

[Jerry Lee Henry @JerryLeeHenry1]

@TrulyRakia @UvondaMitchell I like the idea of testing students to determine their reading level, since it will give the teacher their current level. Starr Reading Assessment is a good idea.

#CF20QualityAssessments @UvondaMitchell
Students at Central, like other schools do not take tests seriously. We have to assess each student’s test to see if it would be applicable to data calculations. I do believe that Lexile scores are a great help in assessing a students.

@waitinggirl123 @UvondaMitchell I liked your comment about “fair use” and actually accessed the Teaching Channel and found some good ideas.

@whit_911813 @UvondaMitchell I agree with Whitney about Galileo. I have never used it, but since working this module, I most certainly use it. The problem will be searching through the vast information in it.

[Jerry Lee Henry @JerryLeeHenry1]

@blankenship_mrs @UvondaMitchell I like this idea to support visual learning. I find in my engineering classes students understand more if they can visualize something connected to an engineering term.

#CF20DigitalResources @UvondaMitchell
I plan on using GALILEO to improve my lesson by researching technology from another source.

[Jerry Lee Henry @JerryLeeHenry1]

@ericajacksonhil @UvondaMitchell I also make my students sound out the word and then reference it to something they can relate to.

[Jerry Lee Henry @JerryLeeHenry1]

@Melissa_RTR @UvondaMitchell I really like to hear about the younger students learning to sound out words. My 7-12 grade students just stop. I think it is the embarrassment factor. I now help them sound it and not just pronounce the word.

#CF20Phonics @UvondaMitchell
I found the 4 chapters quite useful and I plan to adjust my
lesson plans to accommodate the vocabulary and literacy abilities of my
students.

[Jerry Lee Henry @JerryLeeHenry1]

@CharityyNW @UvondaMitchell I find my students also have a difficult time in relating technology words to real life, but when I relate it to real life they have a better understanding of the word. Not sure they like it, but it does help them to understand the word.

[Jerry Lee Henry @JerryLeeHenry1]

@DwaramPrabhu @UvondaMitchell I like the idea of a word wall and I think it will fit quite well in my Technology class. My students have difficulty grasping some of the technology words and if they do not know the meaning, they do not ask.

[Jerry Lee Henry @JerryLeeHenry1]

#CF20VocabularyIdeas @UvondaMitchell
I plan on using bubbles and maps when teaching students to read and comprehend technical literature in my classroom. I will also create a word wall.
Bespoke & biometrics for example.

[Jerry Lee Henry @JerryLeeHenry1]

@waitinggirl123 @UvondaMitchell Great detail in the Rubric. It lets the students know exactly what is required for each part.

[Jerry Lee Henry @JerryLeeHenry1]

@NancyGr41612273 @UvondaMitchell I like the Rubric, clear, to the point and simple.

[Jerry Lee Henry @JerryLeeHenry1]

#cf20singlepointrubric @UvondaMitchell

I will use my rubric to evaluate a student's ability to code a VEX robot and to provide the student a feedback on their code.
